The opening period was a tense affair, with both teams struggling to impose themselves. Omayya Ldlib, playing on their home turf, showed signs of early pressure but could not convert possession into clear-cut chances.

The breakthrough finally arrived in the 52nd minute. A swift move down the right flank saw the Al-Jaish winger deliver a precise cross into the box. The ball was met by an unmarked striker, who directed a powerful header past the Omayya goalkeeper. From that point, the visitors managed the game expertly, dropping deeper to absorb pressure and protecting their slender lead. Omayya Ldlib pushed for an equalizer in the final 20 minutes, forcing a couple of saves from the Al-Jaish keeper, but the defense held firm. The 1-0 win lifts Al-Jaish Damascus into the upper half of the Syrian Premier League standings.
